Question 1

So why am i seeing ASUS site saying this is a DDR4 board but all the websites say its DDR5?

Accepted Answer

There is 2 versions of this board with both DDR4 and DDR5 variants. The one that uses DDR4 will have a �D4" included at the end of the name.

Question 2

Will this MOBO be good for a 4070ti and Intel i7-13700k pairing? Mainly worried about size of GPU and if this card will be large enough. Can anyone confirm this board id indeed come with lga1700 bracket?

Accepted Answer

I have a RTX4080 and in Intel i7-13900K on mine and it works just fine. It is an LGA1700 socket.

Question 3

Does the MB ASUS|TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R come with WiFi 6?

Accepted Answer

The board features WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and also supports WiFi 6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax), meaning it can utilize 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and, where supported, 6 GHz wireless bands.

This ensures compatibility with WiFi 6 devices and networks.

Additional Connectivity Features
Includes Bluetooth 5.3 and an Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet LAN.

The WiFi module is designed for high performance and gaming environments.

So, the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R definitely provides WiFi 6 support, and is fully compatible with both WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E networks

Question 4

Is there a q flash button on this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS Z790-PLUS WIFI MB does NOT have a Q-Flash button neither on the I/O panel nor the motherboard itself. It has ASUS Easy Flash 3 and ASUS crash Free BIOS 3 both of which must be accessed within the bios itself. There is a Clear CMOS terminal on the motherboard at the bottom, but seems like a backwards/old technology for a "latest design MB. With this MB you'll just have to D/L the latest bios on to a USB drive and use any USB port to update the BIOS.

Question 5

Does this board require an intel processor with integrated graphics?

Accepted Answer

No, integrated graphics are not needed on the Intel CPU.  I'm going to use this MB with 13900KF and the ASUS site says they are compatible.  Hope the ASUS site is correct!

Question 6

Is this motherboard suitable for a budget build?

Accepted Answer

Totally - works great!

Question 7

Is this motherboard compatible with the i7 14700 processor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this motherboard is compatible with the Intel i7 14700 processor.

Question 8

This board has four SATA connectors. I would like to use two for a RAID 1, and the other two for SATA Drives. Is this possible? It is not real clear in the RAID configuration guide.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to use two SATA connectors for RAID 1 and the other two for SATA drives. The motherboard supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology which allows for configurations such as RAID 0/1/5/10 using the SATA ports.

Question 9

will it support 14th gen?

Accepted Answer

You will need the bios to updated to at least 1205 if it doesnt ship with that bios installed. Which unfortunately if it has an earlier bios you will either have to find somewhere a cpu that is supported by the bios or ship it back to Asus as a repair for them to update the bios and send it back to you. I found this out after purchasing the i9 14900KF  and the board already and luckily have a friend willing to loan me his CPU to get it updated if required. I was told by Asus support that the bios should be printed on the PCIe slots so you can see what version it is without booting into the computer.

Question 10

Does this board boot to UEFI shell? if it does is the shell EDKII?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI 6E R motherboard does boot to a UEFI shell, as it features a UEFI AMI BIOS.
